The aircraft has a maximum ight speed of 47 mph (75.6 kph) and a maximum ight time of 46 minutes.

The DJI RC Pro remote controller has a built-in 5.5-in high brightness 1000cd/m2 screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. Users can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi while the Android operating system includes Bluetooth and GNSS. The DJI RC Pro comes with a wide range of aircraft and gimbal controls as well as customizable buttons and has a maximum operating time of 3 hours. The RC-N1 remote controller displays the video transmission from the aircraft to DJI Fly on a mobile device. The

aircraft and camera are easy to control using the onboard buttons and the remote controller has a runtime of 6 hours.

Feature Highlights

Gimbal and Camera: DJI Mavic 3 uses a 4/3-in CMOS sensor Hasselblad L2D-20c camera, capable

of shooting 20MP photos and 5.1K 50fps/DCI 4K 120fps Apple ProRes 422 HQ* and H.264/H.265 videos. The camera has an adjustable aperture of f/2.8 to f/11, a dynamic range of 12.8 stops, and supports 10-bit D-Log video. The tele camera helps users to capture at up to 28x zoom using Explore

mode.

Video Transmission: With four built-in antennas and DJI’s long-range transmission O3+ technology, DJI Mavic 3 oers a maximum transmission range of 15 km and video quality at up to 1080p 60fps from the aircraft to the DJI Fly app. The remote controller works at both 2.4 and 5.8 GHz, and is capable of

selecting the best transmission channel automatically.

Intelligent Flight Modes: The user can focus on operating the aircraft while the Advanced Pilot Assistance System 5.0 (APAS 5.0) helps the aircraft to avoid obstacles in all directions.

* Only the DJI Mavic 3 Cine/DJI Mavic 3 Cine V2.0 aircraft comes with a built-in 1TB SSD, which supports the

recording and storing of Apple ProRes video. There are some requirements and restrictions when using Mavic 3 V2.0 and Mavic 3 Cine V2.0 in EU since they are comply with C1 certication. Otherwise, The features and functions described in this manual apply to DJI Mavic 3/Mavic 3 V2.0 and DJI Mavic 3 Cine/Mavic 3 Cine

V2.0.

The maximum ight time was tested in an environment without wind while ying at a consistent ight

speed of 20.1 mph (32.4 kph). The maximum ight speed was tested at sea level altitude without wind. Note that the maximum ight speed is limited to 42 mph (68.4 kph) in the European Union (EU).

These value are for reference only.

The remote controller reaches its maximum transmission distance (FCC) in a wide-open area with

no electromagnetic interference at an altitude of about 400 ft (120 m). The maximum transmission distance refers to the maximum distance that the aircraft can still send and receive transmissions. It

does not refer to the maximum distance the aircraft can y in a single ight. The maximum runtime

was tested in a laboratory environment and without charging the mobile device. This value is for reference only.

5.8 GHz is not supported in some regions. Observe the local laws and regulations.

DJI RC-N1, DJI RC Pro remote controller, and all types of ND lters are fully compatible with Mavic 3.

Aircraft

DJI Mavic 3 contains a ight controller,

video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system, propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Aircraft

DJI Mavic 3 contains a ight controller, video downlink system, vision systems, infrared sensing system,

propulsion system, and an Intelligent Flight Battery.

Flight Modes

DJI Mavic 3 has three flight modes, plus a fourth flight mode that the aircraft switches to in certain

scenarios. Flight modes can be switched via the Flight Mode switch on the remote controller.

Normal Mode: The aircraft utilizes GNSS and the Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward, and Downward

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS signal is strong, the aircraft uses GNSS to locate and stabilize itself. When the GNSS is weak but the lighting and

other environment conditions are sucient, the aircraft uses the vision systems to locate and stabilize itself. When the Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems are enabled and lighting and other environment conditions are sucient, the maximum tilt angle is 30° and the maximum ight speed is 15 m/s.

Sport Mode: In Sport Mode, the aircraft uses GNSS for positioning and the aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to control stick movements. Note that

obstacle sensing is disabled and the maximum ight speed is 21 m/s (19 m/s when ying in the EU).

Cine Mode: Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the ight speed is limited, making the aircraft

more stable during shooting.

The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision Systems are unavailable or disabled and when the GNSS signal is weak or the compass experiences interference. In ATTI mode,

the aircraft may be more easily aected by its surroundings. Environmental factors such as wind can result in horizontal shifting, which may present hazards, especially when ying in conned spaces.

The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems are disabled in Sport mode, which

means the aircraft cannot sense obstacles on its route automatically.

The maximum speed and braking distance of the aircraft signicantly increase in Sport mode. A

minimum braking distance of 30 m is required in windless conditions.

A minimum braking distance of 10 m is required in windless conditions while the aircraft is ascending

and descending.

The responsiveness of the aircraft signicantly increases in Sport mode, which means a small control

stick movement on the remote controller translates into the aircraft moving a large distance. Make

sure to maintain adequate maneuvering space during ight.

DJI Mavic 3 User Manual

Return to Home

Return to Home (RTH) returns the aircraft to the last recorded Home Point when the positioning system

is functioning normally. There are three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH.

The aircraft automatically flies back to the Home Point and lands when Smart RTH is initiated, the

aircraft enters Low Battery RTH, or the video link signal is lost during ight.

GNSS Description

The default Home Point is the first location where the aircraft received a

Home

Point

If the video transmission signal is normal, the AR Home Point, AR RTH route, and AR aircraft shadow

will be displayed in the camera view by default. This improves the ight experience by helping users

view the RTH route and Home Point and avoid obstacles on the route. The display can be changed in System Settings > Safety > AR Settings.

The AR RTH route is only used for reference, and may deviate from the actual ight route in dierent

scenarios. Always pay attention to the live view on the screen during RTH. Fly with caution.

AR aircraft shadow is only displayed when the aircraft is 0.5-15 m above the ground.

strong to moderately strong GNSS signal where the icon is white. The Home

Point can be updated before takeo as long as the aircraft receives a strong

to moderately strong GNSS. If the GNSS signal is weak then the Home Point cannot be updated.

Smart RTH

If the GNSS signal is sucient, Smart RTH can be used to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point.

Smart RTH is initiated either by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing and holding the RTH button on the remote controller until it beeps. Exit Smart RTH by tapping in DJI Fly or by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller.

Advanced RTH

Advanced RTH is enabled if the lighting is sucient and the environment is suitable for vision systems

when Smart RTH triggered. The aircraft will automatically plan the best RTH path, which will be

displayed in DJI Fly and will adjust according to the environment.

DJI Mavic 3 User Manual

RTH Settings

RTH settings are available for Advanced RTH. Go the camera view in DJI Fly, tap System, Safety, and

then RTH.

1. Optimal: Regardless of the RTH Altitude settings, the aircraft automatically plans the optimal RTH

path and adjusts the altitude according to environmental factors such as obstacles and transmission

signals. The optimal RTH path means the aircraft will travel the shortest distance possible reducing

the amount of battery power used and increasing ight time.

2. Preset: When the aircraft is further than 50 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft

will plan the RTH path, y to an open area while avoiding obstacles, ascend to the RTH Altitude,

and return to home using the best path. When the aircraft is a distance of 5 to 50 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft will not ascend to the RTH Altitude and instead return to home using the best path at the current altitude. When the aircraft is near the home point, the aircraft will

descend while ying forward if the current altitude is higher than the RTH Altitude.

Advanced RTH Procedure

1. The Home Point is recorded.

2. Advanced RTH is triggered.

3. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.

a. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins. b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the home point when RTH begins, the aircraft will plan the

best path according to the RTH settings and y to the home point while avoiding obstacles and GEO zones. The aircraft front will always point in the same direction as the ight direction.

4. The aircraft will y automatically according to the RTH settings, environment, and the transmission

signal during RTH.

5. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

Straight Line RTH

The aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH when the lighting is not sucient and the environment is not

suitable for the Advanced RTH.

Straight Line RTH Procedure:

1. The Home Point is recorded.

2. Straight Line RTH is triggered.

3. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.

a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft adjusts its

orientation and ascends to the preset RTH altitude and ies to the Home Point. If the current altitude is higher than the RTH altitude, the aircraft ies to the Home Point at the current altitude.

b. If the aircraft is at a distance of 5 to 50 m from the Home Point when RTH begins, the aircraft

DJI Mavic 3 User Manual

adjusts its orientation and ies to the Home Point at the current altitude. If the current altitude is lower than 2 m when RTH begins, the aircraft will ascend to 2 m and les to the Home Point.

c. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.

4. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will adjust the ight speed automatically to environmental factors

such as wind speed and obstacles.

The aircraft cannot avoid small or ne objects such as tree branches or power lines. Fly the aircraft to

an open area before using Smart RTH.

Set Advanced RTH as Preset if there are power lines or towers that the aircraft cannot avoid on the

RTH path and make sure the RTH Altitude is set higher than all obstacles.

The aircraft will brake and return to home according to the latest settings if the RTH settings are

changed during RTH.

If the max altitude is set below the current altitude during RTH, the aircraft will descend to the max

altitude and return to home.

The RTH Altitude cannot be changed during RTH.

If there is a large dierence in the current altitude and the RTH altitude, the amount of battery power

used cannot be calculated accurately due to wind speeds at dierent altitudes. Pay extra attention to the battery power and warning prompts in DJI Fly.

Advanced RTH will not be available if the lighting condition and environment were not suitable for

vision systems during takeo or RTH.

During Advanced RTH, the aircraft will enter Straight Line RTH if the lighting condition and

environment was not suitable for vision systems and the aircraft cannot avoid obstacles. An appropriate RTH altitude must be set before entering RTH.

When the remote controller signal is normal during Advanced RTH, the pitch stick can be used to

control the ight speed but the orientation and altitude cannot be controlled and the aircraft cannot be own left or right. Acceleration uses more power. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the ight speed exceeds the eective sensing speed. The aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit from

RTH if the pitch stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.

When ascending in Straight Line RTH, the aircraft will stop ascending and exit from RTH if the throttle

stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the throttle stick is released.

When ying forward in Straight Line RTH, the aircraft will brake and hover in place and exit from

RTH if the pitch stick is pulled all the way down. The aircraft can be controlled after the pitch stick is released.

If the aircraft reaches the max altitude while it is ascending during RTH, the aircraft stops and returns

to the Home Point at the current altitude.

The aircraft will hover in place if it reaches the max altitude while it is ascending after detecting

obstacles in front.

During Straight Line RTH, the speed and altitude of the aircraft can be controlled using the remote

controller if the remote controller signal is normal. The orientation of the aircraft and the direction of

ight, however, cannot be controlled. The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles if the pitch stick is used to accelerate and the ight speed exceeds the eective sensing speed.

Low Battery RTH

Low Battery RTH is triggered when the Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to the point that the safe return of the aircraft may be aected. Return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted.

In order to avoid unnecessary danger due to insucient power, the aircraft automatically calculates if the battery power is sucient to return to the Home Point according to the current position, environment, and ight speed. A warning prompt will appear in DJI Fly when the battery level is low and the aircraft can only support Low Battery RTH.

DJI Mavic 3 User Manual

The user can cancel RTH by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. If RTH is cancelled following a low battery level warning, the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough power for the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost.

The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude. Auto landing cannot be canceled but the remote controller can be used to alter the direction and the speed of descent of the aircraft during landing. The throttle stick can

be used to increase the ascent speed by 1 m/s if there is sucient power. The throttle stick cannot be

used to increase the ascent speed and the aircraft will land if there is no power left.

During auto landing, nd an appropriate place to land the aircraft as soon as possible. The aircraft will

fall if there is no power remaining.

Failsafe RTH

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH automatically activates after the remote controller signal is lost for more than six seconds. Note that the

action the aircraft performs when the remote controller is lost must be set to Return to Home in DJI Fly.

When the lighting is sucient and the vision systems are working normally, DJI Fly will display the RTH

path that was generated by the aircraft before the remote controller signal was lost and return to home using Advanced RTH according to the RTH settings. The aircraft will remain in RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored.

When the lighting is not sucient and the vision systems are not available, the aircraft will enter Original

Route RTH.

Original Route RTH Procedure:

1. The aircraft brakes and hover in place.

2. a. If the aircraft is farther than 50 m from the Home Point, the aircraft adjust its orientation and ies

backwards for 50 m on its original ight route before entering Straight Line RTH.

b. If the aircraft is farther than 5 m but less than 50 m from the Home Point, it enters Straight Line

RTH.

c. The aircraft lands immediately if it is less than 5 m from the Home Point when RTH begins.

3. The aircraft lands and the motors stop after reaching the Home Point.

The aircraft will enter or remain in Straight Line RTH even if the remote controller signal is restored during

Original Route RTH.

If the RTH is triggered through DJI Fly and the aircraft is farther than 5 m from the Home Point, a

prompt will appear in the app to select a landing option.

The aircraft may not be able to return to the Home Point normally if the GNSS signal is weak or

unavailable. The aircraft may enter ATTI mode if the GNSS signal becomes weak or unavailable after entering Failsafe RTH. The aircraft will hover in place for a while before landing.

It is important to set a suitable RTH altitude before each flight. Launch DJI Fly and set the RTH

altitude. The default RTH altitude is 100 m.

The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the vision systems are unavailable.

GEO zones may aect the RTH. Avoid ying near GEO zones.

The aircraft may not be able to return to a Home Point when the wind speed is too high. Fly with caution.

Be aware of small or ne objects (such as tree branches or power lines) or transparent objects (such

Vision Systems and Infrared Sensing System

DJI Mavic 3 is equipped with both an Infrared Sensing System and Forward, Backward, Lateral, Upward, and Downward Vision Systems.

The Upward and Downward Vision Systems consist of two cameras each, and the Forward, Backward, and Lateral Vision Systems consist of four cameras in total.

The Infrared Sensing System consists of two 3D infrared modules. The Downward Vision System and

Infrared Sensing System helps the aircraft maintain its current position, hover in place more precisely,

and to y indoors or in other environments where GNSS is unavailable.

In addition, the Auxiliary Bottom Light located on the underside of the aircraft improves visibility for the Downward Vision System in weak light conditions.

DJI Mavic 3 User Manual

Using the Vision Systems

When GNSS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a clear texture and sucient light.

The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems will activate automatically when the

aircraft is powered on if the aircraft is in Normal or Cine mode and Obstacle Avoidance is set to Bypass

or Brake in DJI Fly. The aircraft can actively brake when detecting obstacles when using the Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems. The Forward, Backward, Lateral, and Upward Vision Systems work best with adequate lighting and clearly marked or textured obstacles. Due to inertia,

users must make sure to brake the aircraft within a reasonable distance.

Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing can be disabled in System Settings > Safety > Advanced

Safety Settings in DJI Fly.

Vision Systems have limited ability to sense and avoid obstacles, and the performance may be

aected by the surrounding environment. Make sure to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI Fly.

Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are only available when ying manually and are unavailable

in modes such as RTH, auto landing, and Intelligent Flight Mode.

When Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing are disabled, the aircraft relies only on GNSS

to hover, omnidirectional obstacle sensing is unavailable, and the aircraft will not automatically

decelerate during descent close to the ground. Extra caution is required when Vision Positioning

and Obstacle Sensing are disabled. Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing can be temporarily disabled in clouds and fog or when an obstacle is detected when landing. Keep Vision Positioning

and Obstacle Sensing enabled in regular ight scenarios. Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing

are enabled by default after restarting the aircraft.

The Downward Vision Systems work best when the aircraft is at an altitude from 0.5 to 30 m if there

is no GNSS available. Extra caution is required if the altitude of the aircraft is above 30 m as the Vision Systems may be aected.

The Auxiliary Bottom Light can be set in DJI Fly. If set to Auto, it is automatically enabled when the

environment light is too weak. Note that the Vision System cameras performance may be aected when the Auxiliary Bottom Light is enabled. Fly with caution if the GNSS signal is weak.

The Vision Systems may not function properly when the aircraft is ying near water or snow-covered

areas.Therefore, the aircraft may not be able to actively avoid the water below when landing. Make

sure to maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft and pay attention to prompts in DJI Fly.

The vision systems cannot accurately identify large structures with frames and cables, such as tower

cranes, high-voltage transmission towers, high-voltage transmission lines, cable-stayed bridges, and

suspension bridges.

The Vision Systems cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have clear pattern variations. The

Vision Systems cannot work properly in any of the following situations. Operate the aircraft cautiously.

a. Flying near monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, pure white, pure green).

b. Flying near highly reective surfaces.

c. Flying near water or transparent surfaces.

d. Flying near moving surfaces or objects.

e. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.

f. Flying near extremely dark (< 10 lux) or bright (> 40,000 lux) surfaces.

g. Flying near surfaces that strongly reect or absorb infrared waves (e.g., mirrors).

h. Flying near surfaces without clear patterns or texture.

i. Flying near surfaces with repeating identical patterns or textures (e.g., tiles with the same design).

j. Flying near obstacles with small surface areas (e.g., tree branches).

DJI Mavic 3 User Manual

Intelligent Flight Mode

FocusTrack

FocusTrack includes Spotlight 2.0, Point of Interest 3.0, and ActiveTrack 5.0.

Spotlight 2.0

Control the aircraft manually while the camera remains locked on the subject. The mode supports both stationary and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. Move the roll stick to circle the subject, move the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, move the throttle stick to change the altitude, and move the pan stick to adjust the frame.

In Spotlight mode, the aircraft will hover in place when there is an obstacle detected when the vision

systems are working normally, no matter the behavior is set to Bypass or Brake in DJI Fly. Note that the

vision systems are disabled in Sport mode.

Point of Interest 3.0 (POI 3.0)

The aircraft tracks the subject in a circle based on the radius and ight speed that is set. The mode supports both static and moving subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. The max ight speed is 15 m/s and the ight speed may be adjusted dynamically according the actual radius. Move the roll stick to change the speed, the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, the throttle stick to change the altitude, and the pan stick to adjust the frame.

The aircraft will bypass obstacles in this mode regardless of the settings in DJI Fly when the vision

systems are working normally.

ActiveTrack 5.0

ActiveTrack 5.0 is divided into Trace and Parallel, which support tracking both stationary and moving

subjects such as vehicles, boats, and people. In Sport, Normal, and Cine mode, the maximum ight speed is 12 m/s when ying forward and backward and 15 m/s when ying left and right. Move the roll stick to circle the subject, the pitch stick to alter the distance from the subject, the throttle stick to change the altitude, and the pan stick to adjust the frame.

The aircraft will bypass obstacles in ActiveTrack 5.0 regardless of the settings in DJI Fly.

The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant distance and altitude with a constant angle with the

Trace:

direction of the subject. The aircraft can track subjects in eight directions including front, back, left, right,

forward diagonal left, front diagonal right, backward diagonal left, and backward diagonal right. The

direction is set to back by default and this setting is only available when the subject is moving in a stable direction. The direction of tracking can be adjusted during tracking.

The aircraft tracks the subject at a constant angle and distance from the side.

Parallel:

In ActiveTrack, the aircraft maintains a distance of 4-20 m when tracking people with an altitude of 2-20 m (the optimal distance is 5-10 m and altitude is 2-10 m), and a distance of 6-100 m when tracking vehicles or boats with an altitude of 6-100 m (the optimal distance is 20-50 m and altitude is 10-50 m). The aircraft

will fly to the supported distance and altitude range if the distance and altitude is out of range when ActiveTrack begins. Fly the aircraft at the optimal distance and altitude for the best performance.

This section describes safe ight practices and ight restrictions.

Flight

Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended to hone your ight skills and practice ying safely. Make sure that all ights are carried out in an open area. Refer to the Remote Controller and DJI

Fly sections for information about using the remote controller and the app to control the aircraft.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions including wind speeds exceeding 12 m/s,

snow, rain, and fog.

2. Only y in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may aect the accuracy of the

onboard compass and GNSS system. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 5 m away from structures.

3. Fly the aircraft within visual line of sight (VLOS). Any ight beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) can

be conducted only when the aircraft performance, the knowledge and skills of the pilot, and the

operational safety management are compliant with local regulations for BVLOS. Avoid obstacles,

crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. It is recommended to keep the aircraft at least 3 m above water.

4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism such as locations near power lines, base stations, electrical substations, and broadcasting towers.

5. DO NOT take o from an altitude more than 6000 m (19,685 ft) above sea level. The performance of the aircraft and its battery is limited when ying at high altitudes. Fly with caution.

6. The braking distance of the aircraft is aected by the ight altitude. The higher the altitude, the greater the braking distance. When ying at an altitude above 3,000 m (9,843 ft), the user should

reserve at least 20 m of vertical braking distance and 25 m of horizontal braking distance to ensure

ight safety.

7. Aircraft cannot use GNSS within the polar regions. Use the Downward Vision System when ying in

such locations.

8. DO NOT take o from moving objects such as cars, ships, and airplanes.

9. DO NOT use the aircraft, remote controller, battery, and battery charger near accidents, fires, explosions, oods, tsunamis, avalanches, landslides, earthquakes, dust, or sandstorms.

10. Use the battery charger in a temperature range of 5° to 40° C (41° to 104° F).

11. Operate the aircraft, battery, remote controller, and battery charger in a dry environment.

12. DO NOT use the battery charger in humid environments.

Operating the Aircraft Responsibly

To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rules:

1. Make sure you are NOT under the influence of anesthesia, alcohol, or drugs or suffering from dizziness, fatigue, nausea, or other conditions that could impair the ability to operate the aircraft safely.

2. When landing, power o the aircraft rst, then switch o the remote controller.

3. DO NOT drop, launch, re, or otherwise project any dangerous payloads on or at any buildings, persons, or animals, which could cause personal injury or property damage.

4. DO NOT use an aircraft that has been crashed or accidentally damaged or an aircraft that is not in

good condition.

5. Make sure to train suciently and have contingency plans for emergencies or when an incident

occurs.

6. Make sure to have a ight plan. DO NOT y the aircraft recklessly.

7. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure to comply with local privacy laws, regulations, and moral standards.

9. DO NOT use it for illegal or inappropriate purposes such as spying, military operations, or

unauthorized investigations.

10. DO NOT use this product to defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise violate legal rights

such as the right to privacy and publicity of others.

11. DO NOT trespass onto the private property of others.

Flight Limits and GEO Zones

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by the regulations from self-regulatory

organizations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization, the Federal Aviation Administration, and local aviation authorities. For safety reasons, flight limits are enabled by default to help users

operate this aircraft safely and legally. Users can set ight limits on height and distance.

Altitude limits, distance limits, and GEO zones function concurrently to manage ight safety when GNSS

is available. Only altitude can be limited when GNSS is unavailable.

Flight Altitude and Distance Limits

The ight altitude and distance limits can be changed in DJI Fly. Based on these settings, the aircraft will y in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

Max Flight Altitude

The restrictions on the radius are disabled and warning prompts cannot be received in the app.

Warning: Height limit reached.

DJI Mavic 3 User Manual

The altitude limit when the GNSS is weak will not be restricted if there was a strong GNSS signal when the aircraft was powered on.

If the aircraft reaches a limit, you can still control the aircraft, but you cannot y it any further. If the aircraft ies out of the max radius, it will automatically y back within range when the GNSS signal is

strong.

For safety reasons, DO NOT y the aircraft near airports, highways, railway stations, railway lines, city

centers, or other sensitive areas, unless any permit or approval is obtained under local regulations.

GEO Zones

All GEO zones are listed on the DJI ocial website at http://www.dji.com/ysafe. GEO zones are divided

into different categories and include locations such as airports, flying fields where manned aircraft operate at low altitudes, borders between countries, and sensitive locations such as power plants.

There will be prompts in the DJI Fly app to y in GEO zones.

Unlocking GEO Zones

To satisfy the needs of different users, DJI provides two unlocking modes: Self-Unlocking and Custom Unlocking. Users may request on the DJI Fly Safe website.

Self-Unlocking is intended for unlocking Authorization Zones. To complete Self-Unlocking, the user must submit an unlocking request via the DJI Fly Safe website at https://fly-safe.dji. com.

FAR Remote ID Compliance Information

The aircraft complies with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 89:

• The aircraft automatically broadcasts Remote ID messages from takeo to shut down. An external

device such as a cell phone or tablet is required to be connected as a location source to DJI mobile devices without an integrated GNSS system [1], and must run the DJI ight control app such as DJI Fly in the foreground and always allow the DJI ight control app to obtain its accurate location

information. The connected external device must minimally be one of the following:

1) FCC Certied personal wireless device that uses GPS with SBAS (WAAS) for location services; or

2) FCC Certied personal wireless device with integrated GNSS.

Also, the external device must be operated in a way that does not interfere with the location reported

and its correlation to the operator location.

• The aircraft automatically initiates a pre-ight self-test (PFST) of the Remote ID system before takeo

and cannot take off if it does not pass the PFST [2]. The results of the PFST of the Remote ID system can be viewed in either a DJI ight control app such as DJI Fly or DJI goggles.

• The aircraft monitors the Remote ID system functionality from pre-ight to shut down. If the Remote

ID system malfunctions or has a failure, an alarm will be displayed in either a DJI ight control app such as DJI Fly or DJI goggles.

Footnotes

1. DJI mobile devices without an integrated GNSS system such as DJI RC-N1, DJI FPV Goggles V2,

and DJI Goggles 2.

2. The pass criterion for PFST is that the hardware and software of the Remote ID required-data source

and transmitter radio in the Remote ID system are functioning properly.
